The tables turn!
From the Uchiha Clan, Tōka's figure emerged from the Void.
There has only been one person in history who was able to control the Nine-Tails, and that was the strongest member of the Uchiha Clan — Uchiha Madara!
This Nine-Tails Incident made Konoha no longer trust the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, the Third Hokage ordered that no member of the Uchiha Clan be allowed to participate in the battle!
"So, where exactly are you?" Tōka's gaze swept across the Uchiha Clan Compound, which was deserted, as if most of the people had gone to the Shelter.
Rustling...
Even without activating the Tenseigan, Tōka possesses the Byakugan's reconnaissance abilities, hidden beneath a pair of Byakugan pupils!
Gazing around, Tōka noticed every minute flow of chakra.
As Tōka delved deeper into the Uchiha Clan, he discovered something unusual.
Where have all the strong members of the Uchiha Clan gone? We've only encountered occasional groups of weaker Genin or ordinary people; we haven't seen a single Chunin?
"Has Konoha's defenses against the Uchiha Clan deteriorated to this extent?" Tōka was still wondering why Konoha's defenses were so weak.
Presumably, most of the personnel have participated in the rescue work, leaving only a small number of combatants to guard the strong members of the Uchiha Clan and the Dark Root!
Of course, Tōka didn't care about any of that; he was only concerned with his goal this time.
"Tsk... it seems the target isn't here!" Tōka sighed, having quickly searched the entire Uchiha Clan Compound without finding the target.
At that moment, a half-grown imp emerged from the shadows, carrying a newborn baby in his arms.
Itachi stared blankly at Tōka's retreating figure; this feeling was absolutely certain!
"Tōka... senpai..."
"Hmm?" Tōka noticed the movement behind her and turned around.
The Tenseigan is truly 360 degrees, all-around and without blind spots, but what he didn't expect was that the guy who appeared behind him was Itachi!
Tōka's gaze fell on Itachi through the Fox Mask. He tilted his head and looked Itachi up and down. It seemed like Itachi had grown quite a bit since he last saw him.
Protecting little Sasuke in his arms gives him an even more reliable feel!
"Is that Tōka- senpai?" Itachi asked again, even though the other party's behavior was suspicious, he trusted his own instincts more!
Tōka possesses an aura that commands respect; for some reason, Itachi felt this way from their very first meeting.
The night wind was a bit chilly, Sasuke huddled anxiously in Itachi's arms.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.
"How did you find out about me?" Tōka readily admitted his identity. He was more curious about how Itachi had noticed, even though Minato hadn't.
"There's a unique quality about Tōka- senpai, perhaps that's why." Itachi's little face was tense as he looked at Tōka with a nervous expression.
Itachi knew that if Tōka made a move, he and Sasuke would both be killed in an instant!
Furthermore, based on his previous observations, Itachi noticed that the Uchiha Clan from Tōka seemed to be searching for something—a person? Or an object?
"How perceptive! Itachi will definitely become an excellent ninja in the future!" Tōka's face was hidden behind a mask, so his expression could not be seen.
But it wasn't hard to tell from Tōka's tone that he was laughing.
Laughter is most terrifying at times like these!
Itachi instinctively hugged Sasuke tighter in his arms, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He didn't know why, but facing Tōka felt even more pressure than facing the Hokage.
"Before that, can Itachi answer one question for me?" Tōka took a step forward, closing the distance by ten steps, and appeared out of thin air in front of Itachi!
"What's the problem?" Itachi's pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body tensed up.
"Where is Shisui Uchiha...?"
Rumble!!
Unable to withstand the constant harassment from these tiny insects, Nine-Tails opened its blood-red maw, gathering a terrifying ball of chakra.
Tailed Beast Bomb!
The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb is also known as the Void Dog Cannon!
Buzz!
A blinding crimson beam of light shot through the air, heading straight for the Hokage Rock of Konoha, and the Shelter was located directly below the Hokage Rock!
Swish!
A golden shadow flashed, and the Fourth Hokage, Kage's Ceremonial Robe, Minato Namikaze atop the Hokage Rock, wearing a white robe with red patterns.
"I won't let you pass!"
Minato's eyes darkened, and his face became serious.
He spread his arms wide, gripping the Three-Pronged Kunai tightly, and extended them horizontally, aiming at the incoming Void Dog Cannon.
As Hokage, I must protect my family and the village. I cannot allow you to continue ravaging Konoha!
Buzz!
With four seals in one second, Minato's chakra coalesced and the Jutsu Formula were activated, instantly creating a massive barrier composed of Black Runes in the air.
The Void Dog Cannon blasted directly into the barrier, causing the space to seem to cave in.
As the black runes drifted into the void, the Void Dog Cannon was gradually brought into the Dimension Space!
Flying Thunder God Space-Time Barrier!
Buzz!
The Jutsu Formula was activated again. Minato's eyes narrowed, and he raised the Three-Pronged Kunai in his hand, locking onto a desolate mountain range in the distance.
The Void Dog Cannon crashed down and exploded with a deafening roar!
Rumble!!
A huge ball of light, like the sun falling to earth, illuminated the sky, making it as bright as day.
"So strong! As expected of the Lord Hokage!"
"It actually sent the Nine-Tails' Void Dog Cannon flying!"
"Don't let your guard down, the Nine-Tails is still in the village!"
The appearance of Minato Namikaze was like a shot of adrenaline, and all the ninjas rushed towards the Nine-Tails without regard for their own lives.
The Fourth Hokage is right behind them; they will ultimately triumph!
As Minato's body sank, gathering his strength to charge at the Nine-Tails, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart—the fluctuations of Space-Time Ninjutsu?
"There's actually someone who can use Space-Time Ninjutsu?" Minato sensed a space-time fluctuation emanating from the Konoha Military Police Department.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique spread throughout Konoha, Minato could see everything, except for the most remote areas.
Especially this special feeling, the spatial Ninjutsu fluctuation!
Whoosh!
The Flying Thunder God was activated again. One Flash golden light appeared on the Hokage Rock, Minato's figure vanished in an instant, his aura fading into the distance.
The Konoha Military Police Department is where most of the powerful Uchiha members have gathered.
Because of the Third Hokage's orders, the Uchiha Clan was absolutely forbidden from taking action, and all the clan leader's children and ordinary people were sent to Shelter by the Anbu.
Meanwhile, the Chunin and above were trapped in the Konoha Military Police Department, and were guarded by many Anbu all around.
A strange energy flashed through the space, Tōka's figure suddenly appeared inside the Konoha Military Police Force.
"So many people? There are quite a few Jonin and Elite Jonin them!"
Shisui's strength should be considered that of Special Jonin, right? In this situation, finding a Special Jonin a haystack.
Tōka frowned as she surveyed the slightly restless crowd, hesitating whether to abandon the plan for now.
Sudden!
A suffocating aura approached, Tōka instinctively turned her head to dodge, only to see a cold glint flash across the corner of her eye.
Buzz!
A glint of Ice Blue One Flash in his eyes, and Jutsu Formula was activated, Tōka leaped through space and landed directly on a stone pillar in the distance.
Looking down from this vantage point, the view suddenly becomes much wider.
"Minato?" Upon recognizing the person, Tōka's expression changed slightly, and even his tone became somewhat unnatural.
There's only one guy in Konoha he least wants to run into!
The Fourth Hokage – Minato Namikaze!
The Flying Thunder God Technique is practically unbeatable. No matter how strong your Jutsu Formula or how high your attack power, if you can't hit it, you're helpless.
The Tenseigan also has the ability to travel through space, and can set up Genjutsu Trap in Alternate Dimension, but Tōka still can't think of a good way to suppress Minato.
Conversely, the same applies; Tōka, having awakened the Tenseigan, possesses the ability to traverse space, and Minato is equally powerless against him.
"Fox Mask? You're Anbu from Konoha?" Minato looked at the familiar mask, a figure flashing through his mind, but he wasn't sure.
Because that guy didn't seem to know Space-Time Ninjutsu, and the Anbu members monitoring him didn't notice anything amiss.
But deep down, a feeling told Minato that what the eyes see isn't always right, and that he should trust his instincts more often.
Swish swish swish!!
Minato made no attempt to conceal his presence, and the powerful members of the Uchiha Clan immediately detected his arrival.
"The Fourth Hokage?" Fugaku Uchiha glanced at Minato in surprise, only to find that Minato's gaze remained fixed on Tōka.
The attention of the Uchiha clan members followed Minato's gaze.
On the stone pillar, a Black-Robed Man wearing an animal mask?
The village's Anbu?
The first thought that popped into everyone's head was this, but they quickly dismissed the absurd idea.
Putting aside the fact that Konoha's Anbu is an Elite Ninja force directly under the Hokage, any ninja wearing Konoha Forehead Protector not be going up against the Hokage.
Unless... this guy is Rogue Ninja!
"Who is he?" Fugaku Uchiha asked seriously, while signaling everyone to prepare to take action and cooperate with Minato to capture the Fox Mask Anbu.
Because the Nine-Tails Seal was broken, everyone suspected that it was done by someone from the Uchiha Clan.
If we can capture this person, then the Uchiha Clan can be completely cleared of suspicion!
"The mastermind behind the destruction of the Nine-Tails Seal!" Minato confirmed Fugaku Uchiha's guess and said in a solemn tone.
"What? This guy is the mastermind?"
"Is this the guy who caused our Uchiha Clan to suffer such an injustice?"
"Grab him!"
"Kill him!"
The Uchiha clan members were furious; they were suspected by the village of being held captive in the Konoha Military Police Force because of this guy in front of them!
Fugaku Uchiha stared coldly at Tōka, then looked at Minato.
Although they were not convinced by Minato was, after all, the Fourth Hokage, the de facto leader of Konoha!
"The Fourth Hokage?" Fugaku Uchiha asked in a deep voice.
Minato stared intently at Tōka, his suspicion growing stronger. That familiar aura really seemed...
Roar!!
Suddenly, a deafening roar ripped through the air.
The nine tails of the Nine-Tails Demon Fox began to dance wildly, sweeping towards the ninjas attacking from all directions like madmen.
Even from such a great distance, I could feel waves of heart-pounding pressure!
"Is it really a good idea to let the Nine-Tails run rampant in the village?" Tōka glanced at the huge creature roaring in the distant Forest.
The Third Hokage used his Adamantine Staff to shove the Nine-Tails out of the village, but for the Nine-Tails, rushing into Konoha was just a leaping motion.
In its rage, the Nine-Tails didn't know how to make these wretched insects suffer the most.
The Nine-Tails Demon Fox stood in the Forest, propping itself up on its hind legs, its two front paws tearing wildly at whatever was in front of it.
Vast swathes of giant Great Tree were uprooted, and the earth churned like ocean waves.
Terrifying storms swept across the land, blowing broken trees toward the Konoha.
Even when the Nine-Tails is enraged and attacks haphazardly, the terrifying storms it unleashes can cause enormous damage to Konoha.
"Nine-Tails..." Minato knew he absolutely couldn't let the Nine-Tails continue. Human chakra is finite, while the Nine-Tails' chakra is infinite.
The Third Hokage and the Anbu couldn't hold out much longer; they had to deal with this guy as soon as possible.
Sizzle!
Three-Pronged Kunai Minato upright in front of him.
"The Fourth Hokage?" Fugaku Uchiha didn't understand what Minato was planning to do, and secretly gestured to his clansmen not to move.
"Fugaku, you come and lead the men to help evacuate all the villagers safely!" Now that we've found the one who truly broke the Nine-Tails Seal, let's take this opportunity to lift the Third Hokage's orders.
Not only can it boost Konoha's fighting strength, but it can also leave a good impression on the Uchiha Clan.
"What about here?" Fugaku Uchiha understood Minato's meaning; he intended to deal with the Fox Mask man in front of him alone.
"Leave it to me, you go help the villagers!" Since the enemy has mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu, there's not much point in the Uchiha Clan staying behind.
"In that case, let's go!" Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice. He had been trapped here all night and was already impatient!
Whoosh whoosh!!
At Fugaku Uchiha's command, countless Red Eye- eyed ninjas carrying Gunbai rushed out of the Konoha Military Police Department.
In just a few breaths, only two figures remained in the Konoha Military Police Department.
"To think I'd been targeted by the Yellow Flash. I should have just stayed in the first place." Tōka sighed helplessly. He had originally planned to...
Forget it, there's no point in saying anything now.
The Fourth Hokage...
In Tōka's heart, Minato was an even more troublesome guy than the First Hokage!
The night grew deeper, and the air grew heavier.
The evil chakra of the Nine-Tails filled the entire space, like a huge mountain pressing down on one's heart, making even breathing rapid.
Even with the Tenseigan awakened, Tōka dared not be careless when facing Minato.
Tōka knew that if the danger of the Nine-Tails wasn't eliminated, Minato wouldn't be able to continue fighting. Minato would definitely choose to end the battle quickly and then support the front lines.
"You only get one chance. Among masters, the same move won't work a second time!"
Minato flicked his wrist, Three-Pronged Kunai in his palm flew out.
Chou-Xu-Chen-Zi-Xu-Hai-Si-Yin!
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!
Buzz!
The Three-Pronged Kunai split into two, then into four, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a rain of arrows that scattered in all directions.
Each Three-Pronged Kunai is engraved with the Flying Thunder God Formula; in other words, Minato can directly reach the landing point of each Three-Pronged Kunai.
As countless Three-Pronged Kunai surrounded Tōka and shot away, Minato changed his hand seals repeatedly, and the chakra within his body surged wildly.
"Spiraling Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Forms!"
A ninjutsu that combines the use of Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique. Multiple Flying Thunder God kunai imbued with the technique are thrown around the enemy, and the Flying Thunder God Technique is used in conjunction with the attack.
Minato's Tōka is no stranger to him. Simply put, it is a series of flashes in the Flying Thunder God Formula, with each flash representing an attack.
With its unpredictable, all-around flashing thrusts, Minato's movements are simply impossible for a normal person to keep up with.
Even if one's thoughts can keep up, one's actions cannot.
Call out!
The Golden Flash swept in, transforming into golden orbs surrounded by golden threads, instantly enveloping Tōka completely.
An all-around, infinite, and unpredictable thrust!
There is only one technique that can defend against this move!
Buzz!
Tōka's aura solidified, and chakra erupted from all the Chakra Points in his body.
"Rotation!!"
